A Discord bot for use in some of my servers

You can run my bot locally or, for example, in an AWS EC2 instance, by doing either of:

1. Using my bash install script run.sh

   • Download the script

     curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nigeltroy/discord-bot/master/run.sh -o run.sh

   • Give the script executable permissions

     chmod +x run.sh

   • Run the script, giving the name of the bot as the argument name. For eg.:

     ./run.sh mega-simp-bot

2. Clone the repo and run main.py (make sure that Python 3 and pip are installed)

   • Clone the repository

     git clone https://github.com/nigeltroy/discord-bot.git

   • Navigate to the project directory

     cd discord-bot

   • Copy stub.env to .env

     cp stub.env .env

   • Fill out .env file with the environment variables (replace vim with the text editor of your choice)

     vim .env

   • Install Python requirements for the project

     pip3 install -r requirements.txt

   • Run the bot and write the process ID to .bot-pid

     sudo python3 main.py & echo $! > .bot-pid
